About me

My name is Jason Kelly  and I've been doodling my whole life. In third grade I took a cartooning class with my dad at the University of Washington. In college, my goal in life was to be a political cartoonist. I drew 2 cartoons a week for four years as the editorial cartoonist for the Western Front, the student newspaper of Western Washington University. I drew street caricatures during summers on the Seattle waterfront. I published a book of political cartoons and had a brief stint drawing for the Bellingham Herald. After meeting Jesus at age 21, I pursued a career in full time ministry for over 2 decades (9 years in campus ministry, 6 years as an intercessory missionary, 3 years pastoring at a church and 4 years globetrotting in missions with an organization called Youth With a Mission (YWAM). But God has been stirring a sense of calling of late to produce prophetic comics, and honestly  I am  still trying to figure out what that means. I founded the Frontier Comics Seminar, a 6 week school that aims to inspire, equip and mobilize artists to produce evangelistic comic books for unreached people groups. I have a few comic book worlds brewing in my head. The current state of the world tempts me almost daily to get back into editorial cartooning again. Mostly, I just want God to have the full inheritance He is worthy of through this gift he has given me. While I endeavor to figure out what that means, feel free to hire me to illustrate a children's book, create a logo for your business, produce comics-style visuals to promote an event for your church or a product you are marketing, or hire me to caricature yourself, your spouse, boss, pets, kids or your arch-nemesis. Thanks for checking out my page. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: I have an amazing wife of 17 years and 3 wild but adorable boys under the age of ten. Your patronage will help them eat and stuff.
